President Diaz reques, of the Ameri-
can Government for the remission Of the
death sentence of the three Mexican
officers, condemned by a courtmartial to
be shot for the violation of American
territory in the judicial jurisdiction OF
Nogales. As the American Governments
was the party injured, there exists no
doubt but that its interposition for Glenn
cney will save the lives of the
prisoners. The action Of Secretary
Bayard is highly appreciated here, and
has been regarded as au exhibition OF
generous sentiments towards Mexico. In
government circles among leading
politicians, Judge Manning's handling OF
the case is commented as having prob
ably prevented serious complications.
The Minister'S conduct in the matter
has been characterized by moderation
and q desire OF avoiding or exciting bad
feeling. II is thought President Diaz

representations of the American Min
lister, although he is known to have felt
that stern example should be made in
the case of these officers.
